I was going through my old comics and I came across my copy of COMICS SCENE #8, which featured an article about the upcoming Goodwin/Byrne WOLVERINE run. In it was 2 pieces of preview art, which were colored breakdowns of their first issue together. I don't think that these are in the gallery, so here you go!
I loved Storm in particular - it showed that JB was clearly using current Marc Silvestri X-MEN issues as reference, since he briefly gave her that hairstyle at the time - which was lost once Klaus Janson applied his finishes (editorial decision?). I would love to see more scans breakdowns of this run somehow, if any still exist!

Very cool - thanks for sharing. I am always interested in the comic creation process and wonder why JB was only used for breakdowns for most of this series. I will have to go back and compare but Klaus has such a "loose" style it doesn't seem too different from what was published to me.

…wonder why JB was only used for breakdowns for most of this series…•• All of it, actually. And it was a matter of schedules. I was asked to do the job as a favor to the editor, but I could only do breakdowns in the time frame allotted. Knowing Klaus would be inking, I figured there would be no problem, tho I was surprised to see him use such a slender line and open approach. I guess I was expecting something more like when he inked my pencils on AVENGERS.

Odd to see colored breakdowns.

Those breakdowns are pretty tight!
Any inker would have a blast with them!

Odd to see colored breakdowns. •• Especially POOLY colored! Pencils in any form require a deft hand, when colored. Not in evidence here. Also, look at Storm's right ear in the first panel! Apparently the colorist applied the accursed "When I Hit a Line I STOP" rule!!

For comparison:
I didn't really care for Janson's inks, here. It felt like he was dipping a straight edge razor in ink. This style is perfect on JRjr, however.
There's a B/W breakdown image of the final splash page of this issue in an issue of COMICS INTERVIEW that I have, but I'll have to find it. Can you tell that I was really psyched about his return to Wolverine??

I loved that run but JB did a much better job on Storm's eyes in the breakdowns, KJ lost them.

I agree Vinny, I wasn't a fan of these inks, and I also agree that Janson
is a great a match for JRJr. Otherwise I'm not much of a fan of his
inking for artists other than himself, I don't even like Janson over
Miller's pencils.
At the time I noticed that the last issue of this story looked way better,
even without realizing it was because JB inked himself( I have that
right, don't I?).

I was okay with the inks on the series, but would likely have enjoyed it
more had JB inked himself.

I loved that run. I hadn't gotten into Wolverine until this solo series and dug the raw JB stuff a lot.
